I am working on the animation for my new animated science fiction film Spiritus. Spiritus is the story of a young orphan who escapes the truth about her parents by journeying to the dying exoplanet Spiritus. I am using a combination of video editing software, animation software, and more to make this film, including Moviestorm (which I used to make Libertaria: The Virtual Opera), Final Cut X, motion, and Logic. In this clip I am recording the part of the Ancient Woman, which is an alien being that telepathically reaches out to the lead character in Spiritus through a mind-bending song.  (PS for the singing portion of this character I plan on using East West Symphonic Choirs and Logic to produce an eerie, and in tune, vocal for the soundtrack).
